Segares "has been a tremendous asset to the Fire backline for nearly a decade and has been key to our defensive stability," Fire president Javier Leon said in a statement.

Segares, 30, joined Chicago in 2005 as a third-round pick out of Virginia Commonwealth University. He has 11 goals and 13 assists in 178 MLS games.

"I'm very happy to continue on as a Fire player," Segares said. "Chicago is my second home and the Fire have been a big part of my life for a long time. I look forward to more success with the club in the future."
